What are you doing now?

I also find it so weird that so many Drs have weight expectations. My Dr never put any on me at all.

I'm in the same boat. I posted a topic about it. My scales have not moved an ounce. Not a single ounce in 2.5 weeks. It sucks.

I'm surprised that your doc EXPECTS you to be at a weight, though. Mine says "slow but steady" and expected me to stall.

Don't let anyone, doctor or otherwise, push you around. If you are following the plan, and I assume you are (are you?), it happens to everyone, from what I hear.

Absolutely I follow everything like I'm suppose to I've even went back to liquid form foods to try and help! I'm so stressed out about it it's definitely not the easy way out! The only thing I don't get to do is go to a gym but I love on a farm and believe me I get exercise like crazy! It's just so frustrating and I'm nervous that if I don't weigh what is expected then maybe I'm stretching it or something

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
